You will not have access to the $_POST["comment"] variable until the form is submitted. It looks like you are trying to access this when the form is loaded. Whatever action is echoed in the jpeg-comment.php script is where you want to use you comment variable. > Also perhaps related, when I call $_POST["comment"] in the action file, > it gives me "Forbidden You don't have permission to access...[error > message]" but this is my own server at home. I'm quite unfamiliar with > forms (and new to PHP for that matter). That looks like an access error from your web server. Make sure the directory this file is in is accessible from the web. -- Adam Bregenzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://adam.bregenzer.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
